I try to sign for as many kids as possible. Kids come first, and I'll always sign for a kid before an adult. It's funny, because I was never big into autographs as a kid. The only player who I ever wanted an autograph from was Dave Winfield.

I think there's something wrong with me - I like to win in everything I do, regardless of what it is. You want to race down the street, I want to beat you. If we're playing checkers, I want to win. You beat me, it's going to bother me. I just enjoy competition.

My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can't take that away from me.

For me, when I was a kid, volunteering was the last thing I was thinking about. When I see kids doing it now, it amazes me. It's very impressive, it gives them something productive to do as opposed to getting in trouble. For them to take time out at such a young age is remarkable. I think all kids should take a little time out to volunteer.

It's never over. You don't want to be in the position to be down four runs in the ninth inning, but it's not over until the last out.

It doesn't take talent to work hard.

Handle yourself like a professional on the field and you have one goal-and that's to win.

When you put a lot of hard work into one goal and you achieve it, that's a really good feeling.

Yankee Stadium is my favorite stadium I'm not going to lie to you. There's a certain feel you get in Yankee Stadium.
